WPCNR WATCH ON THE RIVER. November 20, 2012:
A spokesperson for the Westchester County Department of Health told WPCNR Monday the chlorine-treated raw effluent that has been pouring into the Hudson River from the Yonkers sewage treatment plant by the Ludlow railroad station would continue past today, the original date estimated for resumption of normal sewage treatment.
An estimated 80 million gallons of raw sewage a day (if not more, in its full capacity two years ago 100 million gallons of sewage was being treated a day), treated with chlorine only has been pouring into the Hudson for the last 22 days.
WPCNR, going from Health Department estimates, figures 1,860,000,000 gallons of the effluent with solids has flowed into the Hudson since October 29, the day of the storm surge.
Caren Halbfinger told WPCNR she had not day as yet when the plant would resume normal sewage treatment operations. She said that after repairs to the systems are completed the Department of Health would have to test the systems. She had no date when the plant would be back on line. She said the county would send out a news release announcing resumption of full capacity operations.
